Q: Going Off the Pill, Help!!!!
asked by: PinupGirl on March 23rd, 2006

Hey there, has anyone in here ever experienced anything weird after going off the pill, i've been on it for 2 years, my husband and I are gonna just let things go and if I get pregnant ...Fine..If not..We will keep trying
though I have been feeling quite weird, bloated, headaches, sometimes constipated, mood swings...I've been off the pill for about 2 almost 3 weeks now.
Do any of you think it could be my hormonal withdrawal reaction? Has anyone experienced anything like that ?
Mind you, I might be ovulating pretty soon, I can see some mucus already..Even though it is mostly clear..And thickening as days go by.
Since my body is going crazy..I'm not sure...Has anyone here gone through this too? Any similar "side effects"?
Thanks..:)

You are not crazy trust me lol. I had the same thing when I went off the pill in nov. We are ttc now but, when I stopped the pill I was nausea, my breasts hurt, dizzy, headaches, cramps, mood swings, fatigue, chills, the lists goes on. At first I thought I was possibly pregnant with all the signs, but turns out it was my body missing the hormones, plus we didn't start ttc until jan. It was awful!! But just remember some women can get pregnant as soon as they stop the pill to. Good luck!

Aww dear thank you for your reply...And yeah, like I am just scared because I am very bloated and very constipated...It is just weird...Yes the symptoms are really similar to pregnancy ones...Even because I took about 2 tests already and nothing has showed...! And today I had this really creamy white mucus discharge almostlike a lump...! And mind you I have not had any sexual contact with my husband it will be 2 days now.
My breasts are just now starting to get a lil sore..And today and tomorrow I am "supposed" to be ovulating....Though...About another 3to 5 days for my period probably...According to my "pill" cycle...Now off the pill...God only knows...
So I will just probably hang on til monday or so...Take another test...And I will post whatever im going through..:d
and you keep me updated on your situation..And I wish you the best of luck now.. :d
are you hoping for a boy or a girl? :d

buh bye *muah*

Did you stop at the end of the pack or in the middle? Because sometimes your period can be all wacky if you stop in the middle. I stopped at the end of the pack and I still had messed up periods, I had a normal period, nov & dec, a early one in jan, a late on in feb, and now waiting on march I had some spotting but nothing else. I never realized that your bc can throw your schedule off so bad. So maybe you will be lucky and have regular ones. :wink: I am hoping to get pregnant soon, but I look at it this way the longer it takes the more money we can save for the baby. My hubby now leaning towards a boy (of course), and I don't care either way (just healthy) :) good luck, and** lots of baby dust 2 u!!**

Well I stoped at the end of my pack...So I figured it would make sense now to be all screwed up for a while! :) haha...But yeah...I noticed my lower tummy is reallyhard lately...And yeah I never had regular periods as it is...So I do not expect to become any more regular now! Lol...Which sucks...So, well you see I am also taking it that way...The longer the better for the baby money wise...But...Either way. I want a lil boy...Really really bad...But if not..I will be just as happy..! :)...Today I had major boob pains on the sides of my bobbies lol...And like...Constant peeing...Though all my tests still say negative...So...I will give it a couple more tries during the weekend lol....And see what happens..:d
but I hope everything works just fine with you...And *lots more baby dust to you too***and keep me posted..:d

*muah* :)

I didn't have any weird side effects after going off the pill 4 months ago except I didn't have a normal period for 4 months. It was awful!!!!! I actually felt much much better than when I was on the pill...We are not ttc, but I went off cuz the hormones were driving me absolutely crazy!!!

I was on the pill a little over 2 yrs. I got off the pill last month and I haven't had any major side effects. People said I would get sick and my period would be all messed up but it hasn't and came right on schedule

The funny thing is..Its been exactly a month im off the pill today..And ..No sign of period yet! ..
.....Feeling really tired...And sick sometimes..But mostly fatigued..And my boobies hurt..:d
so..I dunno! I guess it is just a personal thing then! ...Cause I heard all kinds of stories already about going off the pill...:d I get more and more confused....Just trying to learn about my own body now..And watch the signs..
I am afraid I will be kinda psyched with all this..And I will be so excited I will forget that sometimes I will just be finding symptoms...That are not even there..! Haha

thanks for the reply..:) take care dear

THANK YOU for all the posts!
I am so pleased to have found this discussion. I have been on the pill for almost 13 years. My husband and I are ttc, so I finished my last pack of bc two weeks ago. I had no idea that my body would be so off and react so heavily to coming off the bc. My overies hurt and my lower stomach feels tight and hard. I have had light headedness and constipation. I feel like I already look pregnant! I appreciate everyone sharing. I was really worried that there was something wrong....
